On the back of Vulture, Murphy offered up a tantalizing tidbit about the main conflict of the FX horror-drama’s third cycle, namely that witches won’t provide the only supernatural spookiness to pervade the narrative. In particular, magic practitioners would find themselves divided among several groups, and several time periods of the resulting fallout.

“The witches of Salem, the smart ones, got out very early and they were none of the ones who were burned,” Murphy explained on a recent Emmy panel. “They all gravitated toward New Orleans, where they now live, and every generation has a great witch who has the most powers of them all, and that’s called the Supreme. Ms. Jessica Lange is the Supreme. [Witches vs Voodoo] has been a centuries-long feud and it’s up to Jessica Lange and Angela Bassett to mend the fence.”

Beyond the story particulars, Murphy explained that ‘Coven’s lighter tone would still incorporate an underlying theme of persecution, as “The witches are really sort of a great allegory and metaphor for any minority group that has been persecuted and has had to go underground and, finally, is like, ‘You know what? Dammit, no. We’re fighting back,’ so that’s what they do.”
